THIRD time proved lucky for Asher Keddie, who took home gold at tonight's Logie Awards.

The Offspring star took home Australian TV's highest honour after her third straight nomination, as well as the Silver Logie for Most Popular Actress.

"What do you say when you win a Gold Logie?" asked an initially tongue-tied Keddie.

"I'm not quite sure what to say I'm very overwhelmed.

"It's such a wonderful opportunity to say thank you to the audience who has watched me play a number of characters over the years."

Keddie said she was having "a wonderful time working at the moment", which is a good thing considering she and her Offspring co-stars are due back on set at 6am this morning.

Funny man Andy Lee missed out on his opportunity to match his partner in crime Hamish Blake, who won the Gold Logie last year.

The comedy duo were the first presenters of the night, making their debt on stage by riding big red chairs like those from The Voice Australia around the stage.

They joked with Voice coach Joel Madden, who was in the audience, with Blake saying "welcome to the entertainment industry, you must be nervous".

But Madden got the last laugh, winning his first Logie a bit later in the night for Most Popular New Male Talent.

"This is the first time I've been called the best new anything," Madden said.

"I'm honoured to get this award.

"I just want to thank Australia for being so good to me."

Just hours after its second series debuted on Nine, the Voice also took out the Logie for Most Popular Light Entertainment Program.

Not surprisingly, Nine's hugely popular miniseries Howzat! Kerry Packer's War took out both the Outstanding and Popular awards for best miniseries.

But Lachy Hulme, who many assumed would win one the Silver Logies for Most Outstanding Actor or Most Popular Actor for his portrayal of Kerry Packer, lost out to Home and Away's Steve Peacocke and Devil's Dust star Anthony Hayes.

Channel 9's family drama House Husbands knocked Packed to the Rafters off its perch, taking out Most Popular Drama Series.

Puberty Blues star Brenna Harding was in tears by the time she got to the stage to accept her first-ever Logie for Most Popular New Female Talent.

"I'm so incredibly lucky," said the 16-year-old.

Bandstand host and veteran Channel 9 newsreader Brian Henderson was inducted into the Hall of Fame, delivering a witty speech thanking "all the people I worked with, even those who plotted to take my job".

SBS's popular and controversial asylum seeker program Go Back To Where You Came From won its second straight Logie for Most Outstanding Factual Program.
